The New England Patriots entered the 2026 NFL Draft with 11 picks at their disposal. Now, entering the third and final day of the event, that number has quickly dwindled to five picks.

The team was aggressive in using their multitude of draft picks to trade up on the board for the players they really wanted in the first two rounds. With those moves, they addressed their top weaknesses at offensive tackle and edge rusher.

One has to wonder if the goal on Day 3 will be to sit back and take as many shots at the draft board as possible. Sure, the roster has likely improved from last season, particularly on the offensive side of the ball. But the team could still use depth at multiple positions.

The goal on Saturday should be finding players capable of coming in and contributing right away, while also finding players who show enough promise to be developed into something for the future.

Here is every pick left for the Patriots on the draft board on Day 3.
